working construction with all the bricklaying, electrical system and pipes installed


Explanation:
El periodo de ejecución de la obra (desglosado en el cuadro 24) será de 18 meses, de los cuáles el primer trimestre será la construcción de la OBRA NEGRA, es decir, los preliminares de la obra, nivelación del terreno, la cimentación y levantamiento de muros dalas y castillos y en este primer trimestre inicia la preventa. A partir del cuarto mes se inicia la colocación de losas de entrepisos, muros, cadenas y castillos, así como las instalaciones eléctricas e hidrosanitarias, es decir la realización de la OBRA GRIS. Y a partir del décimo mes se colarán las losas de azotea y se harán los acabados, carpintería y aluminio, y la colocación del mobiliario en baños y cocina, terminando la OBRA BLANCA. Se tendrá un plazo de 6 meses a partir del doceavo mes para terminación de detalles para proceder a la entrega de las casas.

main building/construction work


Explanation:
I think the above is OK to describe in general terms the work that is done in the "obra gris" phase, i.e. concreting, bricklaying, plumbing, drains, elelctrical installation, which obviously comes after the preliminary work phase but before the finishings stage.
